"Do you really believe that Mary, a godly woman, would accept any such title that draws attention to her and away from Her Son, her savior and the Savior of all whom the Father shall redeem thought His sacrifice, sanctification, intercession and merit?"
Very good question.
I have one observation: the majority of threads by Catholics are about Mary or the Pope or something other than scripture and Jesus. I find that interesting.
Pardon my butting in.
Good observation, at least on the free republic.
What you say is probably true where there are mixtures of Christian denominations. The Pope and Mary USUALLY are the greatest sources of disagreement between Catholics and Protestants and therefore are the source of the majority of threads -- discussion/disagreement.
There aren't too many disagreements on Jesus or Scripture, thus, few threads on them.
Back in Marin Luther's and Henry VIII's days, the sources of disagreement were, no doubt, different. Since then, many differences have been ironed out or become moot, so what remains are those sticky matters of Mary veneration and Papal authority (Upon this rock I will built My church).
I was at St. Peter's this summer. His bones are there. The small casket is right there for all humans to see. Hard to fathom -- the bones of the first pope, Simon Peter, the man who knew Our Savior so well. It was very moving.
The daily Mass readings threads have Scripture in them. Any article about the Eucharist mentions Our Lord, since Catholics believe that Christ's Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity, is present in that sacrament. Any article about the Pope is likeley to mention the Pope talking about Our Lord. Finally, any article that mentions Mary is in all liklihood going to mention Jesus, because she is His mother.
